"I'm going to go home, have a few drinks, have a cry with my wallet, and edit this video". Hopefully the valve is the extent of the damage.

[@jagharingenyoutube]

I actually thought he was going to say that he was going to go home and cry :D

[@FluePeak]

Next video: So i am going to put all forged components now and sellout.

[@TurboVisBits]

it wont be. the piston is going to be destroyed and the inside of the head will probably need welded and reshaped.. valves dont break off and happily jam back into the intake port lol.

[@AKimberley]

Keep up the good work, love the car

[@matgee8892]

@@TurboVisBits Yes i assume the valve has gone for a wild ride and remarkably ended up pretty much where it started.

[@Peruucka]

Those lifters had some problems in v6 petrol engines from rs5 etc, maybe its same problem on this engine, check them maybe they killed the valve also rollers. Cheers from Croatia! GREAT WORK

[@PaulSmith-ih8sb]

Is he running filters on the turbos? Not many miles on this build 🙁

[@Peruucka]

@@PaulSmith-ih8sb this engines have problems where rollers on lifters goes wrong and than in the high revs they do alot of damage on top of the valve resulting maybe droping a valve then valve hits top of the piston and this happens, i dont belive sparkplug is problem, and if something did go in the engine you would see that on intake side of turbo probably

[@ingvarkarlsson]

I think you should put a hinge in the middle of the roof so you can fold up the back of the body

[@PeterBjorck]

Thought about it. Maybe in the future.

[@michaeleriksson3167]

I was thinking exactly the same thing! Would be an awesome rood (rear hood) to look under.

New video just as you get home and laydown in the couch 😄🙌🏻 Great work Peter! 👌🏻🍻

[@gafrers]

From one crazy Swedish build to another

[@liftedcj7on44s]

We build and tune quite a few of the V10's. It's well known the earlier models had valve spring issues. Also keep the stock motor below 1500whp and if staying on stock valve springs do not rev them as high. The last couple of iterations of the V10 they corrected some issues with the valve springs which is why the new model's rev a little higher.

[@vogs72]

Sad to see, but as you suggested, not uncommon in that era of VAG V10 😩

[@UKBUILT]

Oh 😮 I didn't know they are prone to this failure. I was planning to turbo my V10 🤔

[@John-yf8qh]

Just make sure the engine is built with stronger components in the really hard wearing areas. Redo the valve gear altogether though substituting stronger/better parts as that does seem to be a general weak spot. Then again, I’ve seen people bolt on turbos to those Audi/Lambo V10s with little to no upgrades (other than fuelling etc) and be fine for a good while. Pushing an engine over its rated value is always going to cause trouble somewhere down the line, just do as much as you can to mitigate those problems before they happen. Obviously, this can get astronomically expensive at near to the speed of light - so triage your upgrades (thinking about engine out upgrades - if that’s a factor) as best you can. Good luck with it though, they can be excellent engines and from what I’ve seen, it’s entirely luck of the draw if they’re going to be solid or not. Hope you’ve got a keeper. Oh, one more thing; something I’m sharing from personal experience (not this particular engine but similar rarity/power etc) when/if it becomes a money pit, try to limit damages before you spend the price of ten engines (and a house) fixing that one. I know that seems simple in hypothesis - but when we get our teeth into something, it’s VERY hard to cut our losses, even when it ‘makes sense’, Also, if it’s for driving on a semi-regular basis, don’t tune for set numbers (“I want 600 bhp!! etc) tune for how it feels on the road, how it picks up its skirt and gets down the road! Sorry if im telling you things you already know of course, it’s just a bit of advice from an old knacker that’s been blowing up engines for years :) :) It’d be nice to see what you’re building to be fair, if you’re thinking of putting it up here on KZbin, let us know! Best of luck though, I guarantee you will have fun, amongst the tears :) :) (only kidding).

[@UKBUILT]

@@John-yf8qh ha ha, yeah I am the same. Been building and breaking engines for years, usually due to a heavy foot 🤣 I need to finish my V12 build first then mybe I'll start the V10 project 🤔 I have a 5.2 and a 5.0 engines. I was thinking the 5.2 are pretty strong especially with that common pin crank. I was going to sleave the block anyway (I'm a machinist also). I am staying on the reliable side with the Mercedes m120 V12 so I was planning to tune the V10 since I need to run that one on standalone ecu. I will go for a mild tune at first until I can get some beam rods, valves, valve springs ect. The pistons are pretty good on these I believe. Yeah lots of projects as always 😆 I am new to youtube tho 😎 It's my first time recording a build

[@Google_Is_Evil]

The way this looks (without the head popped off) You may get away with a new valve seat, maybe some light welding to the dome of the cylinder head, obviously a new valve (best replace all of them, preferably for some uprated ones), a piston, new conrod bearings and the turbo rebuild. With some luck it is "only" a service kit and a turbine wheel/shaft for the turbo. You may have scratches in the cylinder bore that are too deep, but given the damage to the turbo, I think you only had some aluminium from the piston fly around and that should mean your bore has a decent chance of being okay, even to the point that a light hone is all it needs and you don't need to go oversize on anything. You could have had the mushroom valve head fly around and give you some unlucky dents, or small bits of valve stem rattling around, but given the way the mushroom and the compressor wheel looked, I give you a decent chance you will get away with it. Root cause: I would say the valve broke at the neck, no evidence of the valve stem being bent because a piston pushed up on it so the break must have occured with the valve closing and hitting on the valve seat. Typical fatigue failure due to age/hard life. These are made to have to perform to the max of their ability and as a "race engine" part you can expect to have to replace them, like you already explained yourself.

[@RickRolling-tc7vb]

Fingers crossed and best wishes for your block, Peter. I had a customer drop some valve seats in a Jaguar V12, and the bits bounced around 4 different cylinders: we used a magnet to find them in the piston tops, gouged them out, and crossed our fingers. The liners were OK, the head took some work to fix it up, but we put it all back together and it ran quite well. So maybe you will be lucky as well.

[@UKBUILT]

Yeah I have seen something similar on the jags when they overheat for a short duration🤔

Hello Peter! Always happy to see one of your postings, sorry things aren’t going exactly to plan at the moment. Just wanted to say thank you for showing me/us Nuke parts, I’m currently restoring a couple of old beaters and they’re both going to benefit by having Nuke’s magic wand saved over them. I thought it was all going to be ridiculously priced (due to the quality) but that’s just not the case. Really impressed by the company so thank you very much!

[@RDSAlphard]

Hey, I have always wonder... since you wouldn't really need rear doors anymore, would it be possible to convert into "coupe" with a coupe door replacing + moving the b-pillar yourself?

[@iguana4751]

There are only two different seasons in sweden. Either it is winter, or it’s getting winter!

[@Z-Ack]

Well that sucks.. hopefully the block isnt chewed up to hell but the way the valve was broken its not looking good.. hopefully you can resleeve it or something and isnt cracked.. theres always a silver lining though and this one is you get to learn about the motor and get some upgraded internals while replacing all the valves and springs..

[@ZedoMeddo]

24:05 Hey @PeterBjorck did it did get hot on that cam bearing surface?

[@gafrers]

Shame for what happened but great work and plans as always

[@thedpfteam2423]

Loving your build. keep the good work

[@lindsaydempsey5683]

Thanks for sharing, looks bad, but could definitely be much worse. I very much hope that you have minimal damage once you get the head off, I'll cross my fingers for you on that one. And top marks for shutting down the engine as quickly as you did, some people don't do that, but you were on it straight away, I think that may have helped to limit the damage.

I think the video stopped there because Peter need to go home & cry himself to sleep before proceeding further. 😅😂 I'm intrigued with the DI removal, I remember watching Papadakis Racing does that on B58, and they put dowel pins in place of the injectors to blocked it off. Unfortunately this won't be a cheap repair, but I can't wait to see the Midvo getting v1.5 or v2.0 updates!

[@mattephoto6850]

Hela bilen i samma gula vore Nice 👍

[@fearmullefeline8715]

Of all the tons of racing builds videos, yours are really a joy to watch. Can’t stop once started. I’ve been wondering, how do you find so much time for doing this? And how much of your skills/knowledge are self learning? Plus the cost must be massive. Keep up the spirit and keep making the videos.

[@newagetemplar6100]

Here in the UK there is a very good guy who specialises in V10’s and lambo’ s . He has his own YT channel RE Performance. He may have some spares and would be my first option . He is always busy so don’t expect to talk to him straight away. Email would probably be best first. 😉🇬🇧. Hope the rebuild goes well …

[@bernardwarr4187]

Fantastic information Peter. 2 thoughts, A) can we contact Lamborghini Goodwill and PR department, as a know many Lamborghini fans watch your channel? B) can we invite you to the UK and Europes best Drag Strip Santa Pod next year? Thanks for making a really video that reflects really life at this level

[@johnnygeorgopoulos4072]

Geezus that's the ugliest sparkplug I've ever seen 😳 I'd borescope the cylinders with a good borescope that can be manipulated over 90° so you can see your valves and heads from inside the plug holes as well as of course, the cylinder walls and piston tops.... easier than pulling the engine...but with a plug looking like that, I'm sorry to say, that doesn't look like detonation, that definitely looks like a big strike from something...so in this case, pulling is probably warranted regardless...but if you don't already have one, definitely get a good borescope that can flex "automatically" up to see the bottom of the heads... something that one in your position should definitely already have. Love the build, hope it's not serious (I'm commenting right at beginning of video before I know what's up), and keep it up... this is one of the sickest builds ever, let alone on YT, and I can't wait to see it's final form 👌🏻 Edit: also while the engine is out, cut a nice rounded rectangle out of that aluminum firewall and let's get a plexiglass or acrylic window put in there for some rear visibility 👍🏻

[@ToTheGAMES]

"Welcome to "I Do Cars" and this time we have a Lamborghini V10 engine on the stand." Anyway Peter, I think I saw metal dust in your oil, when you locked your VCT with a drill bit (The motion that circulates oil). Theres a nice dark line. Hows the oil filter? Did you see any metal in there? Might need to check all cam and crank bearings too, don't want any metal in there.

[@corey_nz]

I didn't quite catch which V10 this is, is it the 5.2 i.e. the odd fire V10? All of your other V10s you have opened were the even fire? Hoping you can use the block and maybe salvage the head in this one 🤞

[@CustodiopatricioTrujillomarcha]

😮 I guess part of this world is worried that something goes wrong, but as long as you like it, you just have to keep going, strength, patience, greetings from Chile 🇨🇱🏜️😊

Peter, I will order more merch to give my small support for the best youtuber👍👍👍 Since you know have time.. could you please make the car look more ” stock” or more volvo..

[@limpans_speedshop]

I can see why the valves break… the valve stems are really skinny below the guides. I guess it is for flow. Likely a good idea to change them to valves that doesn’t taper down towards the dish. In your case it would likely have very little impact on flow since you are running it boosted. If VAG was involved in development here that’s where the problem stems from. VAG engines from the 1.8T and forward have had this problem with the dish coming off when tuned. I’d replace all the valves. You could probably get “standard” valve cores that you machine to fit. Likely way cheaper and just as good as exotic valves made specifically for this engine. Smith is good with the lathe, right?

[@gugga58]

Just a thought, can you modify how the body connects to chassis to make removal and refitting easier? It looks like it is so much easier to work on things when the body off the car.
